d. cell wall

The function of spectrins

determines the shape of the cell

Peroxisome

function is to break down fatty acids, it does this by oxidizing the fatty acid. Essentially adding a hydrogen to it.

Pinocytosis

if the material the cell takes in is liquid, the process will be called______?(pg. 103)

extrusion

in which water is ejected through contractile vacuoles

Isosmotic regulation

involves keeping cells isotonic with their environment Marine organisms adjust internal concentration to match sea water Terrestrial animals circulate isotonic fluid

Nucleus

is a central organelle which is where genetic material is stored, denatured, and transcribed.

Endoplasmic Reticulum

is a organelle associated with transporting molecules throughout the cell and storing molecules. Smooth ER- Little to no ribosomes surround it. stores Ca2+ Rough ER- A lot of ribosomes surrounding it .

Cytoskeleton

is an internal protein scaffolding system. This hold the shape of the cell.

phospholipids

The simplest cells are found in the: A) eukaryotes B) prokaryotes C) multicellular animals D) fungi E) protists

prokaryotes

Function of the phospholipid bilayer

provides permeability barrier matrix for proteins
